Bookseller Financial Seminars Set for March and April

In conjunction with ABA’s 2002 Spring Bookseller Forums scheduled in March and April, Avin Mark Domnitz, ABA CEO, will be leading four special financial sessions for booksellers. The sessions, "Basic Bookstore Finances," will discuss operating within a system of financial controls to help predict performance and measure outcomes against those predictions, and cash flow control. Attendees will receive a computer disk with worksheets, which will help them integrate the session’s ideas into their everyday business.

There will be two financial sessions in both March and April. On Wednesday, March 20, the session will be held from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. at the Transitions Bookstore and Learning Center, Chicago, Illinois, after the GBLA forum. On Friday, March 22, the session will be held from 9:30 a.m. - noon, at the Marriot Downtown, Albuquerque, New Mexico, in conjunction with an MPBA meeting.

In conjunction with the NCIBA Spring Workshops, ABA has planned a financial session on Sunday, April 7, from 9:30 a.m. - noon at the Golden Gate Club in The Presidio, Fisher Loop, in San Francisco. And on Sunday, April 14, the session will be held from 9:00 a.m. - noon at The Edgewater, 666 Wisconsin Avenue, in Madison, Wisconsin, in conjunction with UMBA’s Spring Weekend.
